> Best case you look like an ass to half your friends and just feed a machine.

The assumption that any political issue splits the general population roughly in half, and that all disagreement is polar, is bad enough, but now you are making the assumption that that holds for each individual’s circle of Facebook friends?
I have a consuming interest in the London counterculture of the late 1960s, and Jim Haynes was a very prominent figure who pops up in innumerable memoirs by others. Amazing that he managed to escape being “cancelled” though – his views on free sexual expression were already controversial among the incipient female-liberation side of the counterculture back then, and today would strike many as beyond the pale.

I would have liked to meet him, but by the time I learned about his Paris dinners, they seem to have lost their magic and become just a business of sorts. I read that those calling ahead to announce their coming were told by one of his hired staff "The price will be XX€, have it ready in exact change as you enter", and the majority of people one met were tourists coming to the dinners simply because it had popped up on lists of “things to do while in Paris”, and they had little or no knowledge of the man who organized them or the community for which they were originally organized.
Why is the Revue model preferable to a blog with a tip jar and RSS?

I understand why Twitter wants in on a lucrative game, but I don't understand the value proposition for writers or readers. I struggle to see how, as a regular person on the internet, I benefit from a "public square" that will hijack my brainstem to maximize engagement, sell my attention and browsing habits to 3rd parties, and suspend my account with no warning if I run afoul of a black-box censor.

Even if it were that simple as many people know its very difficult to "get out" of a high paying job to make a move elsewhere. Ask any of the corporate lawyer or people who work at the Big 4 with the intention of going into non profits after a few years...

You do know k8s is very new, there's a constant stream of changes and updates to it, etc etc?
it's not established. It's known, but that's it.
I don't buy the notion that this is accidental. This is a strategy that is often described as "ask forgiveness, not permission". Many content companies seem to use this to test what they can get away with in regards to censorship.

It's blatantly obvious that we need transparency in decision making related to big platform moderation. This is far more important than any specific rules.
I dont know why you think the overall donation rates of an entire company of employees is the same thing as the voting rates of individual employees. The article notes that Eric Schmidt is one of the largest donors that are included. The article makes no claims as to the relation to amount donated per employee who even bothered to donate.

Vacuum is a way bigger problem, if you have a few million updates per day on a 5TB table you are going to have a hard time keeping index and page bloat down.

Sure, if your tables are insert only you might be fine but doing any kind of DDL or maintenance (analyze after version upgrades) is going to ruin your day.
My biggest gripe with firefox is how it tries to hold your session hostage to force you to update. This is absolutely a no-go in a professional context, in my opinion. One of the first things I do when setting up firefox on a personal machine is disable this forced update so I can actually control my computer and its applications, not have them control me.
Trump is still claiming he had way more votes and that the election was stolen from him. In the past, the losing candidates had already conceded and congratulated the winner months before. There is a huge difference between making a symbolic vote, and voting as part of a planned coup, even if the coup failed.

You are right. It's the same in Polish. It has no reference to slavery at all.
This makes sense to me. I was under the impression that most of climate change was baked into the cake by now. The only thing we can do is change what happens in a hundred years or so?

United Parcel Service Inc. agreed to sell its short-haul trucking business for $800 million, the first substantial move in the “better-not-bigger” strategy that Carol Tome developed since taking over as chief executive officer in June.
Canada’s TFI International Inc. will acquire the unit, one of the largest less-than-truckload carriers in the U.S., UPS said in a statement Monday. The eight-decades-old operation, separate from the package deliveries for which UPS is known, is primarily a business-to-business enterprise hauling large industrial cargo in big trucks.

Tome’s plan to get lean is a change from 2005, when UPS paid about $1.25 billion for the trucking unit in an effort to become a one-stop shop for transportation services. She has pledged to increase return on capital investment by focusing on the core parcel business, brand and culture while maintaining UPS’s dividend and investment-grade credit rating. Everything else is under review, Tome said in July.

TFI expects the acquisition will add to earnings this year and will increase profit as the company improves efficiency. “This is the most strategic acquisition that TFI has ever done,” CEO Alain Bedard said on a conference call with analysts.

Core Business
Monday’s “agreement allows UPS to be even more laser-focused on the core parts of our business that drive the greatest value for our customers,” Tome said in the statement. The Atlanta-based company will take a $500 million charge related to the sale, which is expected to close in the second quarter.

The unit had sales of about $3.1 billion and 14,500 workers last year, according to a UPS presentation. It operated 6,340 tractors and 23,400 trailers in 197 facilities.

The business, whose customers include Best Buy Co., Honda Motor Co. and Home Depot Inc., has a “roughly break-even” operating margin, according to TFI. The unit moved cargo at below market rates and was a loss leader for UPS so the courier could offer a bundle of services to customers, Bedard said. He intends to increase prices while retaining customers.

Bedard plans to reduce costs by purchasing new vehicles that are more efficient and by streamlining cross-border freight between the U.S. and Canada, among other things. The St Laurent, Quebec, company, which had a market value of C$7.54 billion ($5.91 billion) from Monday’s stock surge, expects to increase sales in Mexico as well.

“This opens a lot of opportunity for us,” said Bedard, whose company has made more than 90 acquisitions since 2008. The unit will continue to provide service to UPS under a five-year agreement.

The sale won’t affect UPS’s package-delivery business’s operations and will raise the company’s operating margin by 0.2 percentage point, the courier said.
We use both Slack and Teams. I strongly disagree that it's the 'cool factor' making Slack better. Teams is just a pain to use for 70% of my day-to-day messaging needs. Teams works well for meetings and large presentations. For intra-team communication and bot integration, Slack wins hands down for my team.
I still vividly remember the time libtool decided to drop "-flto" from the linker command line, because it decided that dropping unknown options would be more likely to make the link work. Dropping "-flto" rather has the opposite effect, and there was no way to force libtool to actually accept it, since it would drop it even when the user specifically requests it in the linking flags environment variable.

From that day forward, I never want to work with libtool ever again.
Yes, they did, and it was universally understood by everyone involved, including both candidates for the presidency, that these were protest votes. No one was promised that an election would be overturned (or winked at that the Storm was happening or whatever).

The Trumpist attempt to overturn the election was doomed electorally and legally, but it was presented to the voting base as a very real effort. Congressional republicans were going to go to congress and fix this fraudulent election.

And it was all a lie. Everyone involved knew it was a lie. And eventually a mob stormed congress because of that lie.

No, they're just leveraged beyond their bankroll. Any broker will have a backend stop-loss and force margin call them before the broker lets the client go negative.

well 2000 and 2016 had legitimate claims.

The reality of the claims + the number of people making it are key factors. you cant honestly pretend there is no difference. which one of those lead to an attempted to coup? exactly.
In any of those societies. There's no country in the world except maybe North Korea where this kind of behavior is generally seen as acceptable; even in Saudi Arabia, the government officially disapproved and tried the people who did it for murder.

> Do you actually believe that the members of the House had an expectation of reversing the election

No, they knew (or at least the mature ones knew) it was doomed. But their voters did not. They went in there lying to their base that this was going to fix what they presented as a "fraudulent" election. And that's not OK.
It is interesting because the word “relapse” is not even included anywhere in the title nor in the text..
Probably past data, and i think calling that AI is a bit of a stretch, if you are just look for outliers / deviation from standard..
Right, but you're a HN reader and not your average person on Facebook.
What's wrong with lawsuits? You should want the election contested legally. Absolutely nothing wrong with that.

About 20 Democrats in 2000, no Senators and no vote was held:
https://www.chicagotribune.com/news/ct-xpm-2001-01-07-010107...

32 Democrats in 2004, including Barbara Boxer and 31 congresswomen:
https://www.archives.gov/electoral-college/2004

However, the objections in 2000 and 2004 were both limited and specific, a far cry from the maelstrom of kettle logic that spawned more than 50 frivolous lawsuits, and which attracted ten Senators and a majority of GOP Representatives. Were the votes counted wrong, as Barnette v. Lawrence insisted, or were the voting procedures unconstitutional, as claimed in Bognet v. Boockvar, or did Dominion Systems somehow install compromised voting machines? The latter claim is currently the subject of a defamation suit targeting one Rudy Giuliani.

The argument that what happened in 2020 is anything like the few objections raised in 2000 and 2004 is dishonest and reeks of disinformation. Nobody stormed the Capitol in 2000. No politicians tried to put pressure on state officials like Brad Raffensperger to manipulate the counting process. Nobody tried to disrupt the counting process itself in 2000, whereas Republicans filed lawsuits to prevent all votes being counted in Pennsylvania. Most importantly, no Democratic politician ever insisted to their constituents that the election would be overturned, whereas Trump did.

Though Ethereum is still PoW, and I am pretty sceptical that they will transition to PoS successfully.
I downvoted OP because "Well they did it too." is a BS defense. I would hope that some more substantive comments would appear above that here.

Let's "raise the bar" of debate.
Somewhat related, I use https://typefully.app to write tweet threads and schedule their posting. Why tweet threads instead of blogging, as many HN users ask? Tweets get traction and build an audience (yes, owning your platform is better than a corporation owning your platform, but you have to go where the eyeballs are) with which I can drive traffic, users and customers to other sites I want them to see.

Twitter is also an amazing community, I've had many good interactions there that are simply not possible in other social media platforms. Where else can you get Paul Graham or Balaji Srinivasan to reply to you?
> Everyone knew the objection was symbolic.

Voters did not. Even today, most republicans think the election was fraudulent. The people who should have been telling them the truth lied to them. And that's what this effort is about, not the very narrow sense of the objections. The objections were part of a coordinated effort across the whole party to lie to the american people in an attempt to subvert an election.
Yes. The difference here is that in 2020, the counting did continue, and Trump was so far behind that there was no mathematical trickery that one could do to fix it, especially because he would have needed to overturn elections in several states to get to the required electoral college count.
I have never used NeoVim, but I am genuinely flabbergasted at the idea of not considering it a bug that :! is not interactive. I would consider that very close to fundamental functionality; I know that lacking it would make me stumble from time to time, and I’ve seen various other Vim users and plugins depend on it not irregularly also.

I’m not confident I know just what’s meant by “gvim did not support this until 1-2 years ago”. Opening the command in a Vim terminal, sure, that’s recent functionality (as is the whole concept of a Vim terminal), and opt-in at that, but on MS-Windows at least, from time immemorial :! opened the command in a separate console window, meaning it always worked. Not sure what it does on other platforms, as I’ve long used terminal Vim exclusively.

Also it sounds like they haven’t actually fixed this, just implemented the equivalent of Vim’s guioptions+=!, which… well, that’s definitely not how I want it to work.
It isn't about what is sensible for the business. It is about what is sensible for society. These fossil fuel companies have routinely put their own short term financial interests above that of the planet. Maybe they have learned their lesson and will fully commit to a cleaner future. Maybe they will drag their feet on their EV business in order to give their gasoline business a few more great years. A majority of the legacy players in this space have a history of ignoring or actively slowing down the transition from ICE vehicles to EVs. If I was the UK government, I would need some guarantee that Shell wouldn't do this before I allowed this purchase to go through.
Interesting that they don't do "GitHub by Microsoft", or "NPM by Microsoft". Maybe there's some insight in there somewhere...
In fact, _better_ than Chrome for most websites (exceptions perhaps google's). I used to struggle with Chrome/Chromium hang and chew on CPU cores, crawl to a halt, crash, or just simply run out of memory or a regular basis. Switched to Firefox ~67-69 and such issues are completely gone. I still have significant CPU usage from background tabs occasionally even in Firefox, but the rest of the issues are all nearly inexistent (even though I have on average 30+ tabs open).
You're interweaving several different issues here.

> Why fumble around with synchronization? 99% of the data in big datasets doesn't change. This doesn't even have to be "log-based", we just need to be able to ship the old, stable data and treat it almost like "cold storage".

This is not a feature of SQL, this is a feature of the database. Also, this sounds exactly like doing full-table replication to get the "old" data and then turning on log-based replication. You can do key-based replication if you really want to avoid log-based, but it's generally just a less efficient version of log-based replication.

> Why is there a single point of entry into the data? You have to use the one database cluster to access the one database and the one set of tables. Why can't we expose that same data in multiple ways, using multiple pieces of software, on multiple endpoints?

You can. Postgres supports both Perl and Python extensions that run in the RDBMS process, iirc. Very few people use them because running in the RDBMS process means that you can break the RDBMS process in really bad ways, and it is very difficult to gain any benefits over just running a separate process that communicates over SQL.

So if you consider other processes that communicate with the database and then show views of that over other protocols, that describes most of the backend apps in the world.

There's also stuff like Presto[1] that allows you to run queries distributed over multiple databases, multiple types of databases, etc, etc, etc. In that case, conceptually, Presto is "the database" and all the records you refer to are remote.

I'm pretty sure allowing it be rented for extra money, but not bundling it with the rest, is also consistent with effective censorship + plausibile deniability.

See https://www.nytimes.com/2020/12/13/business/media/apple-gawk..., they are quite open about censoring things.
Now that President Trump has left the White House let's return to your regular program of globalist propaganda lies.

Yes, nobody likes pollution and we should work on it but,

No, it is not an immediate threat that means we should all pay more taxes.
Honestly, we don't need a _replacement_ for third-party cookies. They're not really necessary for anything.

There's few websites that break without them (e.g.: logging into Atlassian), and that's mostly due to bad design (given that every other login flow out there works fine).

Their main use has been to track people, hence, we don't really need them at all.
I just looked up the relevant section in the GDPR, and it's actually pretty clear:

It's section 9 "Processing of special categories of personal data"

https://gdpr-info.eu/art-9-gdpr/

> 1. Processing of personal data revealing racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, religious or philosophical beliefs, or trade union membership, and the processing of genetic data, biometric data for the purpose of uniquely identifying a natural person, data concerning health or data concerning a natural person’s sex life or sexual orientation shall be prohibited

> 2. Paragraph 1 shall not apply if one of the following applies:

> (a) the data subject has given explicit consent to the processing of those personal data for one or more specified purposes, except where Union or Member State law provide that the prohibition referred to in paragraph 1 may not be lifted by the data subject;

> (...)
humiliation is just semantics here. the bigger picture is that it was the same forces and interests that were behind MAGA, Brexit, AfD/Germany, LePen/France, Orban/Hungary FPÖ/Austria, Northern-League/Italy, Geert-Wilders/NL, etc etc ...

Many other (EU) countries that experienced a right-wing surge - and it wasn't an isolated problem of "the Brits (or Americans) had gone crazy". US politics were more visible (=no surprise: biggest Western country and also noisiest media and propaganda dressed up as entertainment).

But to recall: S. Bannon and N. Farage meeting at the same venues, inviting each other to give talks and share ideas on strategy to turn the world Nazi (we have literally white power groups in my city who got inspired by these scumbags and followed them regardless of them being "foreigners").

Meanwhile we know from Panama Papers that Banks got funding from Russia to bankroll the UKIP campaign, the Austrian minister invited Putin to her wedding, German ex chancellor Schröder immediately joined the Gazprom board after exiting politics and was instrumental to secure Norstream2. Literally every individual or party in the above list has received funding from Russia to drive their right wing campaigns, all while Putin is sitting in a palace. Also it should be made clear that nobody (Putin or any other dictator) would have had the remotest chance of compromising and undermining politics if it wouldn't have been for the left and its incompetent self absorbed doctrine over the past 3 decades (and even after the 2008 financial crisis).

So while nobody is helped by comparisons of who is off the worst we should remember that there is a whole structure behind this who see it as "fighting for their business interests". And while we're in the next months no doubt all tearing each other apart about this the real villains are at large and hiding behind the crumbling facade of our "democratic institutions".

IMO acknowledging that this is a global problem that needs to be quashed no matter where we are is an important step in finding a cure.
I think this highlights the redditization of HN. You have tons of people upvoting on title alone not care about the content one bit. I’m not really sure there is a fix once a site gets big enough that it’s starts attracting people outside its original niche.

Hmm, Tree Style Tabs worked quite well for me for years, never ever stealing focus.
Thanks for sharing. Isn't it odd though that of the four product photos on the Home Fitness page two focus on the screen (sure - your selling point) and two show non-rowing workouts. None of them really show rowing.

Not everyone can or will watch the video - you're leaving me with the takeaway that this is a rather expensive dip bench.
I don't know. I don't expect the right to take care of its racism problem any time soon. Or the problems it has with sexism, homophobia, transphobia, and xenophobia. These aren't things that I can come to some middle ground with. It isn't that these issues aren't issues for the democrats (who aren't actually left, honestly), but by and large, such folks tend to vote republican or whatever party leans the most right.

If you listen to these voices in your party, you don't care about making America less divided and safer since it will always be unsafe for a subset of people.
